District 9, cont. : AKA a slight obsessive recap.

AKA Ily finally stopped hyperventilating, although all previous hyperventilation has been replaced with complete bliss-induced cardiac arrest.
Honestly? This is the greatest movie I have ever seen. I am in complete, utter, blissful love. This is all based a lot around personal preference (but hey, what isn't?), but the cinematic style is perfect, the themes are EXACTLY right up my alley, and the aliens are by far the greatest creatures I have ever seen created, period. Honestly, I am not exaggerating, out of every alien, creature, monster, and fantasy being I have ever seen anyone dream up, THESE are IT.
I just love their structure and form, and they were just so expressive and human. Using the aliens to represent a complete facet of humanity was part of the main point of D9. Maybe it's that fact that caused them to develop into such amazing creatures, since suddenly I've been presented with an alien that's not really alien at all. It's just a complete gift that they also LOOK exactly like I would have wanted them to look. It's like this movie was made for me. :I
I still call them Poleepkwa, since it was the name they were referred to in Alive in Joburg. Non-humans and Aliens seem too ambiguous, and Prawn was a derogative term in the film, so that's my reasoning.
The last time I voluntarily saw a movie still in theaters more than once was X-Men 2 back in junior high, and that was mostly just because I was fangirling over X-Men at the time. I think I saw it 5 times, including going to the premiere in Hollywood (lol fuck I won tickets on the radio). I've already seen D9 twice, and I want to go back over, and over, and over, FFFF~
Feel free to babble in here, please do. Forget worrying about spoilers, EVERYONE SHOULD HAVE SEEN IT ALREADY ANYWAY. LOSERS.
